the direct cause of seventytve per cent. of
such malsdies as Biliousness, Indigestion,

my mouth with clear water to remove

With rare exceptions, | have now taken

WHEN Thos. w. Keene essayed tragedy
a few years ago there were q good many
people who watched his advent with inter
est. He was already in other fields
noted actor. His representations Of
Shakesperean characters displayed a great
deal of rugged strength, and those who
were present at the opening Of his season
in Chicago were inclined to believe that a
star of no mean magnitude was arising in
the realm of tragedy. In Richard Ill
Kcene showed to probably his best ad-
vantage. Nothing was left undonc to
thoroughly advertise him, but as the years
rolled by he scarcely made that progress
in his art which his friends had reason to
expect from his debut. suddenly in the
midst of a prosperous season keene was
stricken with paralysis at Kansas City,
and for weeks was practically speech
less. His recovery was gradual, but
it was decided to play his engagements last
season. 1t soon became evident, how
ever, that Keene was little else thar a
physical wreck. For instance, in the re-
hearsal of Richeijcu the other day, he got
to a word OF five syllables, but his tongue
would not pronounce more han the first
two. He stamped for Il few moments
around the stage, constantly repeating
these first two, then sat down on a chair,
tried it several times again, and with tears
choking his utterance aud with a final
and decided stamp of the foot upon the
stage the whole five syllables came out AT
once. Interruptions to the rehearsals
are frequent in this way. and it is a curl
Gus fact that Mr.. Keene has had to re.
study entirely every one of his old parts.
When he recovered to a great extent
from his illness every word of these part,
had gone from him, and he haC
even forgotten the nature of the plots il
the pieces he played. And yet biz
intelligence applies clearly to every ordi
nary event OF the day. Mr.. Keene',
friends are much opposed to his going OIL
the stage at all. He has an ample fortune
and those who like him best are ~conviucet
that the hard work of a tour will result i
a prolapse and a disaster fully as great a
Mccullough. 1t will probably not b
brain trouble, but a physical Trostration
resulting with a second stroke of paralysi
that is not at all unlikely to prove a fats
one.
